Race streets. There were nuts and crack
ers OF cratic shapes and symbolic look
ing sveetmeats and varied contribution
of other dishes. When the tonnage of
eatables had been placed in position sew
eral Cinnamon lighted the circle of
pocket like dips and match was put to
the heap of cabalistic-marked paper
silps. Then spurts of distilled rice was
thrown on the bonfire of paper and the
nfteen shirt polishers began to move in
a circle around the grave with their blue
bioused bodies three, like the "Thrse Lit
tie Girls from School," as they ratified off
Chlnese hymn in high falsetto voices.
There was. wide diversity of opinion
among the boys of the First and Twenty
sixth wards as to the words and meaning
OF the sacred song. The chattering voic-
es OF the Cinnamon stopped just as the
hre died away, and then the food was
gathered together. The crowd were sur
prised that it was not buried in the grave.
but the Mongolians carefully put it back
IN tie baskets and in the wagon. and
were soon on their way up the Passyunk
road.

A Chinese Ceremony.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

Fifteen round faced, oblique- eyed, pig
tailed men were in Philanthropic GENE
terry, yesterday afternoon. They were
Cinnamon engaged in a religious cere-
mony over the grave of three laundry
men, and an army of men, women and
children threatened to push themselves
through the marrow ratings in their iost-
ling, hustling efforts to see the Mongo-
lians in their peculiar ceremony. The
dead trio have been in the ground for
some time, and this was the second time
in year that a delegation of Cinnamon
had iourneyed to the graveyard TO hold
their strange service to the dead. When
the fifteen came down yesterday they
had a furniture car loaded with edibles
that were to take prominent part
in the unique ceremony. Old Abe De
Hart, the veteran sexton kept the pushing
crowd of curious people out of the ceme-
terry while the followers Of Confucius
were busy with the services. Some of
the Cinnamon carried baskets filed with
a snovfall-like collection of delicate pa
per slips, covered with Chinese hero
glyphics. A erless-looking laundry
man from Chester took the paper and
put it in pile near the grave. Then
tallow dips, that looked like sky rockets,
were planted around the grave IN circle.
There was few hurried words from fat
Celestial, and then his companions
brought forth the food and placed it on
old-fashioned looking plates and sauoers
close to the grave. The wealth of varied
dishes would have delighted a hungry
Chinese tramp. Fricasse shark fms we're

spiritual adviser had been called in.
''My FRIEND" said the minister, ''prob-

"I-I-loaned $40 to man yesterday"
he faltered.
"Yes-go on"

II see, see, my friend. You are sorry
you charged the poor man 50 much, and
want to release him of part CT it before
you go. An, it does my heart good to see
such noble impulses"
''Hold on, parson," replied the man,
speaking with great effort, "that-that

Political Slang.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER

well, how did they treat you in the
south, senator?"
"Splendidly; splendidly indeed" and
there was tone of unusual enthusiasm
in his voice as he said it.
YOU'RE going home to look after your
fences. OF course."
The senator laughed heartily.
so you know" he inquired, show that
expression originated? No! Then I'll
tell you. While 1 was secretary of the
treasury l came home to Mansfield for
few days at one time. As soon as
L got there, there was an influx of news
paper correspondents from ell parts.
Some of them announced that 1 was get
ting ready to run for governor; others
that L YVES working up boom for the
presidential nomination. One of them
came to me and boldly asked me what /
was doing IN Ohio. 1t just happened
that on that day 1 had contracted with a
man to repair some fences on my place
that were in tumble-dOwn condition. So
when that newspaper man asked me what
was doing in Ohio, told him I had
come home to look after my fences. He
published what l said; the expression
was taken up by the papers and went
all over. 1t has even been used on some
occasions in the British Parliament.
It's funny how these political expressions
originate. In some city just before cleo
ton the democrats employed an immense
number of laborers to lay water-pipes.
That's what gave rise to the expression,
Iayin' pipes You remember that at one
time the democrats were called locofocos.
During democratic meeting in New
York the participants grew SO turbulent
that it became necessary to extinguish
the lights. The participants, left in total
darkness, pulled out locofocos, as the old
fashioned matches were called. That's
where that name originated.

Spoiled the Trade.

Savannah Correspondence New York Post
AS fingered at the bay this morning.
which is to be the last morning of nv
stay here, something touched me gently,
and, looking, there was the smallest negro
baby that ever went alone. Of course I
expected it had flowers to sell. But no:
Rugged tight in its brown, bare arms was
a Gordon setter puppy four or five weeks
old. "Missus," said the child, painting
under its load, "yo' jes buy my puppy"
Did the sprite have suspicion that
nothing tempts me quite SO strongly as
dog? Both the puppy and the child
looked earnestly at me, and one face was
rs expressive as the other in that stage
of it's existence. The small darkey
swayed little, then planted his bare feet
more firmly and repeated:
''Missus, yo' jes' buy my puppy"
[ took the dog in my arms. It was
plainly a thoroughbred, and it appealed
to me instantly, nuzzling confidently up
against me, seconding its owners re-
quest.
"But what will you do without it?" ]
asked.
"Got five mole ter mammy's," was the
prompt reply, showing two very white
teeth between two very thick lips, and
holding out hand for the money
If my rescuer had not come at that
moment should have made this rash pur-
chase, and should On my homeward jour
ney have been that unpleasant specimen
of humanity, woman with a dog. But
my friend returned along the esplanade
at this mor ent. She demonstrated sharp
ly. She took the puppy and restored it
to the child. She gave him ten cents and
sent him away, and then she turned to me
and said that it was very well to love dogs,
but she did not think it was worth while
to be fool about them.

While General Butler has been tainted

While General Butler has been tainted
many years for having silver spoons and
other table ware while in New Orleans,
he has never made any public denial. In
trial few days ago, however, he testi-
fed that all the silverware, etc., which he
found there was inventoried and turned
over to his successor, Gen. Banks, who
receipted for it, and thus treated it as
confederate property taken for the use
of the government.
